Over the weekend, Lubbock citizens went to the polls to cast ballots on an ordinance that would ban abortion in Lubbock. The Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance passed overwhelmingly with 62% of those who cast ballots voting for the ordinance.
I can t tell you for sure what will happen next. For now, Planned Parenthood and the ACLU and other organizations are studying the ordinance to see if there is room for a lawsuit.
The good news for the City of Lubbock? If they are sued, an attorney has already said they would represent the City of Lubbock for free in court. An attorney who has written this ordinance and defended it in court. Sounds like a guy I d want on my team just in case.
